Neil Clarke

Neil joined the Midgets in 1992 and holds the record for competing in the most consecutive seasons. Prior to racing Midgets he competed in Hot Rods, Super Rods and Stock Rods. Switching back to 1992 Neil finished 4th in the points which made him the top newcomer. He was in the top ten of the points for 12 consecutive seasons with a best of 3rd in 2001 and 2002 which I know he is proud of as they were in his own Stealth chassis.

Neil announced his retirement from Midgets after 32 seasons in 2023. He is second in the the club’s all-time points scorer records.

In all Neil raced for 54 year consecutive years on the short circuits and competed on no less than 52 different ovals as well as Mallory Park and the Isle of Man TT course.
